I have Justin Phillip in my fantasy stable . . . not sure he's up to it though.

I like Serena's Song's son, stormberg.

Boys At Tosconova will not run in the Holy Bull....Dutrow isn't pleased with his current condition. TJ

Won't be backing anything in the race but Dialed In is interesting hope he runs well. I like Nick Zito he comes across as a straight forward no nonsense type of guy.

Hi Dub,
The race lost a lot of it's luster when Boys at Tosconova pulled out. I'd like to see Mucho Macho Man jump up and win. His trainer was on her last leg while she awaited a heart donor. She recieved the heart just in time....after all she's been through, winning the Holy Bull would be a nice end to her story.
The 6, Leave of Absence may end up scratching as there is a quarantine in a few barns at Gulfstream and Palm Meadows because of a Jonathan Sheppard horse who's shown some symptoms of a neurological disease. Along with Violette's barn, Sheppard, Pletcher, Steve Klesaris, Juan Vasquez and Saeed bin Suroor are also under quarantine. They are trying to expedite the testing so it won't interfere with Saturday's Sunshine Million's races as well as The Holy Bull on Sunday. TJ

I like Gourmet Dinner a lot. He had a troubled trip in the Cash Call Futurity. He's working well and will be looking for a big effort..

[da hossman]

I'm with TJ - Mucho Macho Man ran a good 2nd to To Honor And Serve and should improve.

[TJ]

They just lifted the quarantine.....they move fast for the big outfits:>) TJ

[Whirlaway]

Looks like Gourmet Dinner may have the edge here, shows a couple of strong works and got the best of Mucho Macho Man July last year. Hard to know what Dial In has for em', Leave of Absence closed well. I'll go w/Gourmet Zinner to win.

TJ our man in the know, we should get you a job with Reuters or AP, good job TJ.

[Patuxet]

I'm with you, dublino!

TJ is an incomparable asset to this Board.

Hi Dub, Pat,
Thank you both....but I do hate blushing at my age:>) TJ
